deserting..... Draft dodging in Canada....

What difference does it make?

Wasn’t it Chelsea Clinton that said “we loathe the military”

[matginzac]

I think it was her mother who said that...
Her supposed father wrote that he was “too smart” to join...

[Verginius Rufus]

Chelsea may have said something like that, but her putative father is famous for his letter where he spoke of loathing the military (but with the parsing he later became celebrated for, wording it in such a way that it is grammatically ambiguous whether he includes himself in the group that loathes the military).

Maybe Obama is waiting until there is a big news story dominating all the news outlets to issue a pardon to Bergdahl hoping it will get overlooked by the media.
